How can Place an image in my EMail message

I am testing Delphi ChilKat component to send EMail

How can Place an Image as part of my EMail signature, not an attach.

Thanks

Solution

  • You still have to attach the image, but you attach it as a related item with a Content-ID header assigned to it, not as a normal attachment. You can then display that image in the email body using an HTML <img> tag with a cid: url to refer to the image's ID as the image source.

    The Chilkat DLL has several CkEmail_AddRelated...() functions, and the Chilkat ActiveX object has several AddRelated...() methods, for this purpose.

    Here are some examples provided by Chilkat (you did not say which Chilkat API you are actually using - the DLL or the ActiveX):
